An Analytical Study on the Post-Peak Structural Response
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An analytical study is taken to investigate the relationship between material softening and structural softening through the use of a model problem in one dimension. General nonlinear constitutive ...
Improved Adaptive Sliding Mode Control for Rigid Spacecraft Attitude Tracking
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper considers the attitude tracking problem of a rigid spacecraft involving inertia matrix uncertainty and external disturbance. First, an adaptive integral sliding mode control (ISMC) is proposed for when the upper ...
